I just wish they'd spend a bit more time helping us work through the federation issues.

They'd probably be completely willing to do so, right now it looks like they're mostly working on core foundation stuff. I do see an open issue for Hubzilla AP support; it probably wouldn't hurt to pipe up and let the creator know that people from Hubzilla want to follow PeerTube accounts.

I'm trying to spin up a node using Docker-Compose, but I keep getting an error about being unable to contact my SMTP server. I installed netcat into the container and verified that it can, in fact, be reached from within peertube. ☹️

Hubzilla does not yet connect directly to peertube, There is an open bug on peertube. We have at this point discovered that they do not handle the 'url' attribute in the actor document correctly; but even if we supply the data which they are expecting to find, there are unknown additional errors on their end resulting in connection failure. At this point we need somebody with a peertube installation that understands the code and read logs, and there does not appear to be sufficient motivation on that end to work with us and solve the problem.
